My eyes just glaze over when I see every file being listed and its purpose. Just because you CAN do that with LLMs doesn’t mean you should. What are you really trying to communicate?


I was under the impression the purpose of that is to give an LLM a cheap (in terms of context window) understanding of a repo, and not at all for the benefit of humans?

Whether that's effective is another matter, even if the LLM generating the list does so correctly and updates the list consistently


Yes, that's for the computers to read. Maybe it's documentation that might be useful for a developer new to the project?
